Dia de los muertos
What I'd like to know is-- When people from Mexico (and other countries?) celebrate Dia de los muertos, and put beer and food on the graves of deceased loved ones ... Do they come back the following morning to pick it up? What happens to all the stuff? And do little kids really think that the spirits of the dead come back to eat the food (reminds me of Santa with the milk and cookies) ?

Call me curious..

Your quite funny! This custom is practiced in several countries around the world. I grew up in Mexico and it's a coutry with alot of superstion that dates back 1,000s of years. Relatives and friends eat and drink and the dead is pretty dead. Voila!
